See skier's downhill (careful at 1:21!)

MUST WATCH

"This season, I had skied well in the downhill, but never managed to cross the finish line with a faultless performance. I had a bit of luck in St Moritz, when I won my first downhill (in February 2008), but there was no luck involved today, it's incredible and I'm very happy," Maze said.

Meanwhile in the men's downhill on Saturday, France's Adrien Theaux claimed the second World Cup win of his career in Kvitfjell, Norway.

The 28-year-old recorded a time of one minute 29.1seconds to pip home favorite Aksel Lund Svindal by 0.19 seconds with Klaus Kroell of Austria coming in third.

"This win comes a bit late. I didn't manage to get on to the podium at the world championships, but it is always nice to win a World Cup race. I am satisfied," Theaux said.
